Morag’s Lodge

If Morag’s Lodge in Fort Augustus were an Olympic Athlete, they’d be struggling under the weight of medals.

It is in a great big stone built house in the village of Fort Augustus at the southern end of Loch Ness. Take another look at the picture featured with this and you’ll be reminded of the epic splendour of that part of Britain. In the distance you can see Ben Nevis, in the foreground the canal. The village is also bounded by two rivers all of which meet legendary Loch Ness.

You can book rooms of various sizes in this 75 bed hostel. they do all the usual facilities like laundry and self-catering kitchens but there must be something different about the way they do it, because awards!

Highlands and Islands Tourism award winners or finalists in a dizzying number of categories across six years as well as notable nods for Green Tourism. I think we should take a trip up there and experience this for ourselves!
